Answer:


m=(-1)/(3)

Explanation:

In the easiest explanation, the answer would be
m=(-1)/(3)

Using
m=(rise)/(run) you will go down one point from
(-1,-1) because rise is -1. From that point, you will go three points to the left that being because run is a positive number. Then you will find yourself being at the second point which is
(2,-2).

Another explanation is basically using the slope formula


m=(y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) )
